2. Slideshare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service.
Users can upload files privately or publicly in the
following file formats: PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote
or OpenOffice presentations. Slide decks can
then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held
devices or embedded on other sites. Launched on
October 4, 2006, the website is considered to be
similar to YouTube, but for slideshows. The
website was originally meant to be used for
businesses to share slides among employees
more easily, but it has since expanded to also
become a host of a large number of slides which
are uploaded merely to entertain.

3. Although the website is primarily a slide hosting
service, it also supports documents, PDFs, videos and
webinars. SlideShare also provides users the ability to
rate, comment on, and share the uploaded content.
The current list of SlideShare's investors includes
Venrock, David Siminoff and Dev Khare.The website
gets an estimated 58 million unique visitors a month,
and has about 16 million registered users. SlideShare
was voted amongst the World's Top 10 tools for
education & e-learning in 2010.SlideShare's biggest
competitors include Scribd.com, Issuu and Docstoc.
Some of the notable users of SlideShare include The
White House, NASA, World Economic Forum, State of
Utah, O'Reilly Media, Hewlett Packard and IBM.

4. I think slideshare is brilliant because it is good
for anyone such as school children for
homework and adults finding out about a job.
I share a lot of slideshows because I can and I
enjoy making them. They may not be
interesting but they have some important
facts and help make masks. (MY SLIDESHOWS)
